EFDS New Website

Wednesday 29th June 2016

We treated this project as an ideal opportunity to analyse our user journeys and popular pages as well as limit the number of clicks to find information. The challenge was to transfer a content-rich hub into a more user and device-friendly site.

We launched our last site in 2012, but with crucial accessibility and technology requirements, we needed to rebuild our most important information portal. It has been an ideal time to give the site a much-needed makeover.

For providers, as well as the regular news features, the site offers pages on our programmes, research and resources. For disabled people and their networks, the site offers activity listings, local contacts and information on our IFI Mark accredited facilities. As a charity, we also wanted to improve our fundraising features.

Sarah Marl, Marketing and Communications Manager at EFDS, who looked after the project, said:

“Over the last year we have worked hard to design and deliver this fantastic new site. As our most important information source, we wanted to lead by example in many areas. We embraced the chance to review and refresh the wealth of support we offer on this digital platform.

“We hope you enjoy the new site, find the right support and opportunities. We also welcome providers to use our site to promote their own activities and resources.”
